Inspiration

Duw had been busy, but had asked for some time off from Silvia, and given how hard she had been working was allowed it, she had also done some research and found a cheap beast hide that was used normally for clothing that also had a constancy to leather, and after testing it at the forge it did indeed provide decent protection from the heat, she then bought some and made two pairs of rough gloves from it, she intended to give one to her father and knew she had to make it a 'payment' for what she wanted as the man was stubborn and would usually turn down gifts unless brow beat into accepting by his wife.

She waited till after dinner as a full belly usually put him in a good mood and began to explain she wanted to borrow the workshop for an experiment for a day or two, he said nothing and just sat and listened as she asked staring directly into her face, when she finished her pondered for a while before, "yes,"

She leaped over and hugged and kissed him before pushing the wrapped gloves into his hands he opened his mouth to protest the gift when the evil eye his wife was giving him shut him up.

After about an hour "What do you think she's doing in there?" Alana asked,

"not sure, but the girl is bright, brighter than us, I have a feeling we will be surprised," Deln answered pulling his wife in close,

they spent the next day listening to the sound of hammering and the occasional swear as the sound of something breaking was herd, Deln's face had a wide smile seeing his daughter work so hard, and his excitement rose.

Duw had failed several times but she knew this method could work, and she noticed something as she had been working she had no burns, she carried on for a while before catching what was happening, she was healing herself on reflex and not flooding her body with light magic actually using the correct spell and realized this was the result of Silvia's training, the ability to insta cast! she then noticed something else as she had stopped, the metal she was working on sparkled with light but this wasn't from the forge or the metal itself, it was from her magic!

Alana and Deln were sat outside enjoying the downtime from their work, they led on the grass as it slowly shifted color just enjoying the time when they heard the workshop door slam open and Duw running, they quickly got up and went in only to see her come out of her mother's enchanting room with a few things,

"need to borrow these! thanks!" and she dashed back into the workshop and shut the door, they stared after her wondering what she was up to when the hammering resumed but now it was accompanied by muffled mutterings and the occasional laugh.

Several hours later a happy but utterly exhausted Duw came out of the workshop asked them not to go in until she could show them and them promptly went to bed.

Alana tucked her in and changed her clothes Duw didn't even wake up she was so tired, her mother came out curiosity burning in her she headed for the workshop before Deln stopped her,

"I'm just as curious as you but let's not deprive the girl of her moment love ok?" he said firmly,

"OK I think i can wait, maybe," her mother said reluctantly.
